郭杰克主编的《全新版大学英语<第二版>长篇阅读（3）》是根据《关于大学英语四、六级考试题型调整的说明》阅读理解部分薪设立的长篇阅读测试题型的要求而组织编写的。 本教程用以检测读者阅读理解能力的题型主要为一些高端大规模英语考试，如大学英语四、六级考试和英国的IELTS Academic Reading’rest所采用的信息匹配题。信息匹配题的特点是考核读者在篇章和段落层次上的阅读理解能力，要求读者能快速找出与每题所含信息相匹配的段落。这种信息包括识别段落的主旨、段落中的事实或论点之间的关系，找出具体的细节，如例子、原因、说明或小结等。这种题型侧重考查的是在有限时间的要求下对于较长篇章的理解和信息定位能力。但从阅读能力的角度来讲，它强调的仍然是快速地阅读和理解英语篇章的能力。
